MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - At the Meridian Township Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on April 11th, an applicant requested to build a 192 square-foot accessory building in the floodplain at 4423 Wausau Road.

The floodplain request was approved by the Board with a 3-1 vote.

The Board also heard from an applicant requesting a variance to build a freestanding sign standing at 42.2 square feet at 1841 Newman Road which doesn't comply with Township Ordinance.
